~[DJ~ MODEL 3012-R

-

Manufacture of the Model 3012 Series II 12" precision pick-up arm ended in 1972. In response to many requests to re-introduce i t for professional and hi-fi applications we have produced the Model 3012-R. It is basically similar to i ts classic predecessor but with important refinements including :

• Thin walled stainless steel tone -arm. • New design lateral balance system.

• Extra rigid low mass shell with double draw-in pins.

• Main weight system with fine adjustment providing a wide range of balance. • Geometry optimised for 12" records. Distortion caused by lateral tracking error is at least 25% less than is possible with a 9" arm and i ts effective mass of 14 grams makes i t particularly suitable for the many medium and low compliance cartridges now on the market.

Full details will be sent on request .

The S2-R shell supplied with i t is another SME ' f i rst' in heavy gauge aluminium with pin-up and pin-down bayonet for positive locking. The sockets of all SME arms employing detachable shells are double slotted and therefore compatible with this design.
